Note on use
To be able to take trips into account for tax returns, you have to document them properly and completely in a transparent way for the tax authority. The logbook merely provides the technical basis for this.
Changes or additions to Digital Logbook entries in the app must be made within seven days after being recorded. All uncategorised journeys are automatically saved as "Private" after seven days.
